  • John Lautner’s rustic-modern cabin, tucked away in the San Jacinto mountains outside LA, is a classic example of organic architecture. In 1957, the Pearlman family used an unbuildable lot at Idyllwild to raise a bold dwelling that erases the line between inside and outside.
    On the panoramic view side of the home, rough, unmilled logs act as structural support, but accompanied only by floor-to-ceiling glass, they become camouflaged with the surrounding oaks, cedars and pines.
    Lautner (a disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright) went on to become world-renowned, but the Pearlman Cabin in the resort town of Idyllwild, was his first round house (even before his iconic Chemosphere (1960) or Zimmerman Residence (1968). Nancy Pearlman, who was 10 when the home was built, remembers it was her mother who wanted the round house to go with the round table as a centerpiece.
    “It just seems so natural to me to have one big beautiful room,” explains Nancy, who says they’ve slept 25 on the floor, “It’s very rustic, but it’s very practical”.
    Nancy’s uncle built the home while living in a tent. He only needed help with a few elements, like installing the massive windows and dynamiting some of the boulders to lay a foundation.

    Im addicted to your channel, Kirsten. Like others have said, I appreciate that you don't add music and we can hear the natural sounds. I also appreciate that there isn't an intro, and you keep the focus on the home/dwelling/person being interviewed. Your children are also so respectful. I can only imagine how valuable it is to have this exposure to new places and people to their upbringing. Thank you, and I will always look forward to your content. Please never change!

    I especially appreciate that such interesting things got built for a time. It really was a special period until the 70s when wealth combined with a relative lack of zoning. Lots of wild safety violations in the homes featured on this channel. But there’s something special that was lost when zoning and building regs came into effect.

    This reminds me of my family and our cabin that was built by my dad, brothers and extended family. It wasnt as beautiful architecturaly but everything else is just the same. Ours was rustic built in the early 50's. It was like a time capsule with all of the old books, magazines, board games that we enjoyed over and over again. We too had no tv. My parents wanted us to enjoy nature and family time. I remember when my dad replaced the dishwasher at home with a newer model, he asked Mom if she wanted the old one taken to the cabin. My mom refused because the cabin was the only place where us kids had to do the dishes. Those were wonderful times spent in the woods at that cabin with family and friends. This video took me back. Even the sound of the jays in the trees. Thats the sound of my beloved family cabin.

    When she walked into the home, she excitedly said, WOW! And the owner of the home was laughing with delight, understanding the impression the room makes on people. It is so beautiful, and I love the angles of the glass walls that face the forest. She is exactly correct, that it makes it seem like you are IN the forest. I absolutely love that room. I probably would have skipped a little into the room myself, delighted and not really knowing how to react. Kristen immediately sat down to enjoy the view.
    I love this owner, because she loves the excitement of Los Angeles - I loved the 30 years I lived there - but also appreciates this quiet beauty in the mountains. I like the Lake Elsinore area, and I found a couple of lots that I could afford, but they too are unbuildable - too steep. It would cost a lot of money to build there, and I wouldn't be able to get much of a house and there would be no yard for my dog, unless I spent more money to have it terraced. So, for me, it remains unbuildable. There are some lots, okay, but not with a lake view.
    I love the refrigerator - it fools you because one assumes there is an oven beneath the burners.
    I'm so glad you went to see this house and that we can see it too. And, the owner is such a sweet woman who loves to laugh and is delighted with her home today as much as she has always been. It's really amazing.

    An unassuming but still magical little cabin in the woods. John Lautner was probably the master of mid twentieth century California residential architecture. He apprenticed with Wright and learned much but went on to carve out his own distinctive style. A round floor plan like the one in this cabin is a design he often used but the houses for which he is famous were much larger, richer, and more intricately detailed. Mansions.

    A sensible house. It fits into the landspace to become part of the landscape. It has everything needed for a comfortable, healthy life.
    The really sensible part is in the living arrangements. A kitchen fully connected to all activities, yet it can be closed off to small children. Living and sleeping in the same family space might be a challenge full time, depending on work and school schedules. Dad's own bedroom for snoring is a good escaperoom for anyone needing downtime. A space big enough to enjoy individual activity yet holding everyone in a cosy cocoon. Magical.
    Straight windows also keep building/repair costs down. Interesting shapes and nooks too.
